Course Evaluations Primary Contact
What are the responsibilities of a Course Evaluations Primary Contact?
This role is responsible for the development and oversight of Course Evaluations. The primary contact will be the main point of contact during implementation, rollout, and continued development of Course Evaluations. They will be responsible for:
- Onboarding the Course Evaluations platform with an understanding of its relationship to the campus’ course evaluation strategy.
- Maintenance of the Course Evaluations platform, including contributing to the initial site construction, controlling settings, determining users and permissions, and understanding the detailed functionality of the tool.
- Communicating choices concerning the Course Evaluations platform to relevant stakeholders on campus.
Though there will be a single Primary Contact to lead your efforts on campus, we do recommend that there be between 1-3 individuals identified to be trained on use of the Course Evaluations toolset. Sometimes, a campus may distribute these duties over multiple people. For example, a campus might have a subject-matter expert in Institutional Effectiveness or Academic Affairs and an administrative assistant for support and maintenance.
The Primary Contact will also be informed about all product updates, additional features, and integrations, and have direct connection to the Course Evaluations consultant. For questions that arise regarding the contract, site configuration, or changes to the community, the Primary Contact will always serve as the primary point of contact.
